Solution Overview

Problem

Current cosmetic compositions are inadequate in effectively enhancing collagen synthesis in the skin, as they often rely on single agents or limited combinations that do not significantly improve collagen-I synthesis or dermis density.

Innovation Solution

A cosmetic composition comprising 0.001 - 0.5 wt% of Phaeodactylum tricornutum extract and 0.00001 - 2.0 wt% of Dimer Tripeptide-43 or Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, combined with additional collagen-I synthesis-enhancing substances like Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester, Hexapeptide-11, and Kigelia Africana Fruit Extract, along with cosmetic auxiliaries, to create a synergistic effect.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If single agents or limited combinations are used in cosmetic compositions, then the composition is simple and easy to manufacture, but the effect on collagen-I synthesis and dermis density is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecollagen-I synthesis enhancementVSAvoidcomposition complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple proteasome activators (Phaeodactylum tricornutum extract, Dimer Tripeptide-43, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein) with specific collagen synthesis enhancers (Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester, Hexapeptide-11, Kigelia Africana Fruit Extract) to create a synergistic composition that significantly boosts collagen-I synthesis beyond what single agents can achieve

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention uses a composite formulation integrating extracts from marine algae (Phaeodactylum tricornutum), peptides (Dimer Tripeptide-43), hydrolyzed proteins (Rice Protein), and plant extracts (Kigelia Africana), creating a multi-component system that targets multiple pathways in collagen synthesis simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Quantity of substance

If multiple collagen synthesis enhancers are combined, then collagen-I synthesis and dermis density improve significantly, but the composition becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedermis densityVSAvoidmanufacturing ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent specifies precise concentration ranges for each component (e.g., Phaeodactylum tricornutum extract at 0.001-0.5 wt%, peptides at 0.0001-0.1 wt%) to optimize the synergistic effect while maintaining manufacturing feasibility through standardized formulation parameters

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

The invention refers to a cosmetic composition for increasing collagen synthesis in skin cells comprising 0.001 - 0.5 wt% of a Phaeodactylum tricornutum extract, 0.00001 - 2.0 wt% of Dimer Tripeptide-43 or Hydroiyzed Rice Protein, and cosmetic auxiliaries. The cosmetic composition comprising the combination of both components has an synergistic effect on collagen I synthesis in skin cells and has a booster effect to other substances which are known to have an enhancing effect to collagen I synthesis.
